Why Protein Is Important For Energy

Protein is essential for a variety of reasons, including providing energy. Most people know that protein is important for building muscle, but it's also necessary for maintaining energy levels. When you don't get enough protein in your diet, you can start to feel tired and run down. This is because protein helps to create enzymes that are used in the production of energy. By ensuring you're getting enough protein, you can keep your energy levels high and stay productive throughout the day.

Protein is incredibly important for your body, in general. It’s responsible for more than 10,000 types that are found in everything from your organs to your muscles and tissues. So without an adequate amount of protein, this could lead to a number of health issues down the road.

If you’re reading this and saying to yourself, “I’m not even sure how much protein I’m currently eating or how much I should be,” not to worry. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans have been put together by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services based on age groups.

Children under 4: 13 grams

Children ages 4 to 8: 19 grams

Children ages 9 to 13: 34 grams

Women and girls ages 14 and over: 46 grams

Boys ages 14 to 18: 52 grams

Men ages 19 and over: 56 grams

If you aren’t sure about these numbers or feel like you may need less or more, talk to a certified health coach, like myself.

Protein is an essential macronutrient that provides the body with energy. It does so by building and repairing muscle tissue, as well as providing a source of fuel for your cells to use during exercise or other physical activity. Eating protein also helps regulate appetite and reduce cravings for high-calorie foods, which can lead you to eat less overall. So what are some good sources of protein?

Some examples include meat, poultry, fish, eggs (both white and yolk), dairy products like milk and cheese (in moderation) soybeans such as tofu or edamame beans; legumes such as lentils; nuts such as walnuts; seeds such as sunflower seed kernels; the list goes on.

Without protein, we would never have the energy to make it through our day. Protein is a crucial nutrient that can help us stay energized and strong throughout the day with its amino acids building blocks for muscle growth! So next time you're feeling drained, reach for some high-quality protein like salmon or chicken breast - they'll give you an instant boost of energy!
